We aren't quite out of this rainy pattern yet, but relief is on the way. Expect periods of showers and thunderstorms today across the Florida Keys, with highs in the lower 80s and overnight lows in the mid-70s. Fortunately, rain chances will finally begin to gradually decrease tonight.
A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect for all Florida Keys. Higher high tides will run approximately 1.5 to almost 2 feet above normal. This will lead to areas where driving through saltwater may be unavoidable. Saltwater flooding of low elevation streets and lots is expected with some roads possibly becoming impassable. Storm drains will overflow and some seawalls and docks will be overtopped. Boaters will see less clearance under bridges.
A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY remains in effect for all Florida Keys. Today...Showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms. Highs in the lower to mid 80s. East winds near 10 mph, or near 9 knots. Chance of rain 70%.
SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION UNTIL WINDS DECREASE ACROSS THE EASTERN FLORIDA STRAITS. Marine winds today will be gentle to moderate out of the east, generally near 15 knots, except moderate to fresh across the eastern Florida Straits, 15 to 20 knots. Seas: Bay and Gulfside waters around 1 foot; Hawk Channel 1 to 3 feet; Florida Straits 2 to 4 feet, occasionally to 5 feet; Southeastern Gulf 2 to 3 feet. Bay and nearshore waters a light to moderate chop. Showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms.
